Heat up smelly food in our office instead of the lunchroom. Not often, though. I'll also bring a hard boiled egg with me for breakfast and peel it here. Apparently that's also obnoxious.
My office was always SO COLD. I was not allowed to have a space heater and they would not turn down the air so I brought in an electric blanket, which I turned on every day. I am sure people thought I was a psycho.
I will clip a hangnail or when a little piece of a nail splits. I've also painted my nails before. I come in earlier than almost all of my coworkers so I try to do that stuff before they get in, but in the case of nail painting, they can still smell the polish when they come in. Not my finest action, I'll admit.

I eat and drink constantly while I'm at work. Like, everyone now knows this as my "thing." I don't know what it is about my hovel of a windowless office or the bland beige walls in this place, but it is an appetite and thirst inducer.
I also yell at my computer a lot. My go-to phrase is usually, "Bill Gates, I am going to punch you in your glasses."
I've been asked to be quieter, generally. My two volume settings are loud-as-shit and mute. Sorry, office.

I paint my nails first thing in the morning, too. I like to turn the toilet paper roll upside down (so it comes from underneath) and listen to the perfectionists complain!
I eat at my desk. Our office is typically super cold and I get to have a space heater so I like to stay in my warm office and eat. When I was in a cube I used to keep uggs under my desk and I would wear those around and people thought I was crazy. Then all the office girls started doing it do I guess that makes me trend setter. LOL.

I reheated Salmon and rice in the microwave- I never realized this was foul until I lurked on ML. I still swear it didn't smell that bad and I have never peeled hard boiled eggs at my desk.
